I want to nuance my answer. I am not talking about non-profit housing or social housing. That's not my domain. That's the domain of my distinguished colleague beside me. I don't study non-profit housing or social housing. I don't study it. I'm just talking about private for-profit housing, which is the vast majority of the housing units in our country. If you want to look at the housing stock, CMHC—shout-out to CMHC—produces some of the most fantastic stats I've ever seen anywhere. It's really good data from their chief economist and their assistant economist.
To your point, I don't mean this to sound ideological. I have an enormous respect for the Government of Canada. My father was 42 years in the government, and my partner was in it for 35 years. I have relatives in the Government of Canada. I am not anti public servant. I am a public servant as a public professor in a public university, but I don't believe it's the government's role to build houses. They're the referee of the hockey game. Their job is not to tell Sidney Crosby when to shoot the puck. Their role is not to own the hockey team. Their role is to make sure they call penalties when somebody is cheating in the hockey game. The private sector just does a better job of building houses, or building cars, or building hamburgers.
